experimentin' on my young friend here, but come up in time to block his
game."
"Put us on his track, and we will share the reward of a hundred pounds with
you."
"I'll do it. Boys, stay here and I'll go back with these gentlemen. I'll join
you in an hour."
Obed was as good as his word. Within an hour he was back again, with the
two policemen, followed by the man whom we have called the tramp.
His hands were more securely fastened now by a pair of handcuffs.
